Containers for Paraguay

Post by Acromyrmexbob » Sat Feb 13, 2016 9:17 pm

Just received the first lot of containers for the collecting trip this year to Paraguay. These are the ones for the small colonies of Atta and Acromyrmex.

There are 288 of these tubs. They weigh nothing and are perfect for packing a lot into a small space without overcrowding.

Sounds brilliant. If you can make a price list for the species you hope to collect that would be great
